17th October, Aurora Court, the all-day dining restaurant of Merdeka Palace Hotel & Suites(Jalan Tun Abang Haji Openg, 93000 Kuching), launched its Aurora Saturday Dinner Buffet.

All sort of appetizers, salad, umai, rojak, gado-gado, you name it. The local appetizers were pretty good. While the salad was just normal, your usual salad, make your own, how to go wrong with that? *LOL* Local ones require more skills and unique.

After that, hot dishes. When I go for buffet, I don’t really like going for hot dishes, I will only go straight to its signature items.

This is the thing I’ll go for in Aurora Saturday Dinner Buffet. Mongolian BBQ where you can witness live cooking by the chefs. Pick your fresh ingredients, fish, chicken, vegetables, and more. I’ll just have these, no rice. Yum yum!

By the way, the fruit carvings were done by the executive chef. There’s a section dedicated to fresh fruits. Fruits are good for you.

The chefs who would be cooking for you 😉 New executive chef, Fadill, with his team.

Left: Chicken rice is available upon request. Roasted or steamed chicken, or both. I would just go for the chicken hahaha… I’m not touching any rice most of the time if I’m having buffet.

Right: The carving station where you can find roasted duck or chicken, smoked lamb or beef or chicken. Every week is different.

Carving station is also my favourite section. Never missed! Tender and juicy… Oh yummy yummy!

Dessert corner that I will not be missed too. If not, sure will be not be satisfied.

My favourite dessert for the night, red velvet with cream cheese layer. Just not fond of the kiwi on top. Fresh fruits on the wrong type of cake just irked me. The cake size was small but that’s the whole point as there’s still other desserts to indulge. Pportion is great. Too much can be too overwhelming.

Delicious desserts. Not sugary sweet, the sweetness was acceptable. As you know I don’t really like sweet things but these were just right for me. What you see here is just partial selection, there’s another corner with other cakes too.

Bad dessert will ruin my whole dinner. Hence, good dessert is very important for me. They did it well as compared to other hotels I went before. Normally, I’ll get extremely sweet desserts which would end up untouched on my plate but not here. I cleared everything 😛

Aside from that, there’s ice cream and ice kacang section too. Well… I’m not really into ice cream or ice dessert after buffet.

If you notice, I seldom post about food outlets in this blog recently. Well… Most didn’t meet my expectations, so quite lazy to share here but will be featured in my Instagram and Facebook with short comments. Those deserve it will get another sharing in my blog. That’s how it is now…

MK Classico Caffe (Jalan Tabuan, 93100 Kuching, Sarawak) started operation this year. Saw many people tried the place out came back with good feedback. Been wanting to go since months ago but never get the chance. It’s not easy to park and it opens at 6pm. Finally, managed to pay a visit to the place last night.

The address provided seems to be unclear, it’s not hard to locate. Find Ting & Ting Supermarket, then Borneo Hotel, you’ll locate it.

They have two floors. The ground floor with all the seating configuration for big group. We wanted to go up but when I saw the staircase, I surrendered. I was wearing skirt! Cannot go up! So we ended up sitting at the corner. Just nice for two of us with the amount of food we ordered.

Cafes nowadays like to use this type of interior design, looks like it’s the in-thing now. Brick wall without covering of paint, rugged, and filled with antiques.

Even though we ordered only 2 dishes, they were huge! A bit too much for two of us, 3 would be just nice. Total bill was RM49. Very reasonable.

Left: MK Triple Chips (RM12), so filling! With three types of chips: nachos, sweet potato, and fries. Just order this to share with your friends (2 or 3 of you) if you want to have a catch up, it’s good enough. Split the cost, each only pay RM4! Portion reasonable with the price. Not oily too. Fries and sweet potato sticks were deep fried just right.

Right: Great striploin steak with very affordable price, RM25. I’ve not eaten any steak in Kuching for years because I’ve been disappointed by all of them, paying double or triple of this price, yet getting lousy steak. When I saw this on the menu with the pricing, I was thinking, what the heck, craving for some beef steak… It’s so cheap, even if it turned out bad, still not feeling so bad. What to expect with such price right?

When it came, too much sauce, I scrapped it to the side, however ended clearing up the sauce from the plate because I love the black pepper sauce, so different from the typical ones you get in Kuching. Instead of eating the sauce with the steak, I drizzled it on the mashed potato. Oh yummy!

The steak was so tender and not thin, it’s about one inch thick and bigger than my hand, almost melt in the mouth. Heavenly!

RM25 ONLY! Hello!?!? I was expecting something pathetically thin, dry, and hard yet it came out totally opposite. I requested medium. Worth every single penny. If I’m paying RM40-60 for this quality I don’t mind at all but sadly many places charging this price served bad steak. Kudos to MK Classico Caffe. Hopefully the quality will maintain.

I do recommend this place, will definitely go back to try other food next time.
